anyone else. central europe last year, budapest, the czech republic had gone from a leading country in central europe, leading the region in laws and in the constitution of equality 16 years ago to a complete reversal today. it's got one of the worst records today of the deprivation of rights of women, roma people, jews, and lgbt people. sound familiar, that grouping? i was not prepared for what i was going to find in budapest. i was not prepared for the thousands ofneo nazis and state sanctioned militia that would meet a couple hundred marchers, thousands of them. * there was one young man, 21 years old, young hungarian, who would be the only person to go on tv with me, only hungarian, malan would take a blow horn and walk through the streets against families that hated us, and he walked and he shouted and he kept the morale up as we were walking against this sea of people who didn't like us because we were representing the inclusion and diversity that we so much cherish here. he was inspired by the story of my uncle and he said to me, do you think this is how harvey felt? and i sa

the liberation of eastern europe and, which went as a separate process. but, i would say that these things actually freed up gorbachev to try to reform the system. it took the pressure off of him. as long as we had the arms race, they had an excuse not for changing the system, but once you and the cold war, not just the arms race, and gorbachev ended it ideologically december 7, 1988, today is also an anniversary of that -- exactly a year after he signed the inf treaty, what he ended in that speech aside from announcing unilateral reductions in their military, was he discarded the class struggle as the rationale for soviet foreign-policy. that was the rationale that also cut the khan eunice party as the dictatorship in the country. so the end of the cold war reforms that gorbachev started these reforms when i got out of hand, brought the end to the soviet union. they got out of hand and got out of control, and the end of the soviet union in my opinion was caused almost entirely by internal forces and these were unleashed by the end of the cold war, beginning with the the inf treaty. >> ros

.s. is a heavy user of credit products. europe is a distant second and other parts of the world. it gives you a backdrop of a huge amount of credit availability. a big drop off in 2008 and 2009 and some very slow increases. this gives you some backdrop that the securitization markets in the united states of come back to an extent if you look at the various asset classes. there are just not as many auto loans being made right now as five years ago. generally, the markets function and they are working. not many as student loans going to the private sector since the shift. most loans going under the government's balance sheet. credit cards, there were changes that have fundamentally changed different loan obligations -- this data is a little bit old from 2011 and 2012. this is the slide everybody talks about in various formats, a dramatic change in how mortgage credit is made in the united states. this is the only slide i can possibly show you where securitization volumes have gone up. it is the agent market has gone up by $300 billion over the past six years. a huge change or the private mbs, p

years. everywhere i went i told these companies that built the rails in europe and asia, come to america. invest in america. and many of them are here now. of so in the absence of congress not providing the money but with the leadership of the president providing the money, i think we'll get there with public money. but until we do, we're going to use private dollars. >> mr. secretary, with all respect, there's not 15 minutes worth of vision in this congress. and i -- [laughter] the chairman likes to exclude himself, but after all, he's from florida. mr. chairman, i very much respect and i believe it is the way to proceed not to give up on high-speed rail. i beg you not to give up. my question really goes to priorities. if you continue to flake this money out, because it'll be so little, it'll be a bunch of snow flakes, at the end there will be huge criticism. so my question directly is, is it possible for you and the administration to think through a system of priorities based on a realtime, realistic vision of what lies ahead for us in the next five years so that we might prioritize am

-speed rail systems internationally, specifically in europe and asia. these operators and construction companies would join wedding groups -- bidding groups with financial investors on the right to design, build, operate, maintain and finance this project. after being prequalified, the winning bidder is usually chosen based on lowest cost. one of the key considerations is that the project generates enough operating cash flow, the private sector would be compensated over time for their investment by receiving the net revenues generated from the project. however, if the project does not generate adequate net revenue, the bidding groups will require an ongoing revenue supplement known as an availability payment. to insure that they'll be able to cover their cost and earn an adequate return on their investment. if the revenues reach a certain level, the availability payments could go away, and the concessionary would only be entitled to the project's revenue. as a result, the payment could be structured as a floor to support investment-grade financing and attract maximum private investor i

as much as the rest of the world combined in terms of defense. our friends and allies in europe provide health care for all of their people. in many of these countries, college education is free. we are spending twice as much as part of our g.d.p. as they spend on defense. i think it's time to take a hard look at defense spending, and i think we can make cuts there which will still leave us with the kind of military we need to defend ourselves. madam president, instead of raising the medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67, instead of cutting benefits, we can make medicare and medicaid more efficient. i believe that we can save at least $200 billion over a ten-year period by eliminating waste, fraud and abuse and lowering prescription drug costs for seniors. for example, the medicare part d prescription drug program prohibited medicare from negotiating with the pharmaceutical companies for lower drug prices. the v.a. negotiates, other government agencies negotiate. medicare should be able to do that. fortunately, the war in iraq is over. we are about to wind down in afghanistan, and ther

to obtain any relief in bankruptcy court? this hearkens back to the debtor's prisons of europe and english glands. charles dickens would have a ball with this standard. congress needs to address this. right now there's $150 billion in outstanding private student loan debt that is crushing many borrowers. $150 billion. i have a bill, the fairness for struggling students act, that would once again permit private student loans to be discharged in bankruptcy as they were before 2005. mark my words -- private student loans. there is no good reason why private student loans should be treated differently in bankruptcy from any other type of private unsecured debt. this 2005 change in the law was a special interest favor. it was never justified, never really debated, and cannot even be explained today. filing for bankruptcy is never a walk in the park and it should be the last resort for anyone, including student borrowers. but many private student loans have outrageous terms forced on kids, or just barely beyond being kids, and their families. students are saddled with those loans, many of them w
